More updates on the chalet trail

The chalet is my winter bedroom. Actually, since the demise of the tent. It’s my year round bedroom. I love it.

Now its also 200 feet from my washroom. So last year I cheerfully hiked off through blizzard and snow. It was no problem. In fact. I love it. But. I am a guy. I am regular.

So this year I added a new feature to my off grid camp. It’s a girlfriend. Hey guys, guess what. The girlfriend doesn’t think hiking to the washroom in the middle of the night during a blizzard is romantic. Or fun. Or something she is prepared to do.

Look up, way up

The ceiling of the chalet will remain exposed. One of the aesthetic benefits of the perfect wall.

This is the view from my bed looking up. Note that with the “perfect wall” I don’t need interior insulation, nor do I need drywall. So in keeping with the “chalet” aesthetic, I’m leaving the boards raw.
